Support with work on the dissertation

1st doctoral colloquium 1, 2 and 3

The purpose of doctoral colloquium 1 is to present the exposé and receive extensive feedback. Typically, you present twice a semester. In doctoral colloquium 2 and 3, you present your own research work. This can be finished working papers, but also smaller papers and preliminary work. The aim is to receive comprehensive feedback in a collegial and constructive atmosphere. The doctoral colloquium is basically designed to facilitate a lively scientific exchange between doctoral students and faculty members. It is desirable that doctoral students (after completing DQ1, 2 and 3) continue to participate in the DQ throughout the course of their doctorate, even without official registration.

2 Economics Research Seminar

A total of three research seminars must be completed, whereby students are expected to participate regularly and contribute to the discussion. Furthermore, summaries of the presentations must be prepared, which are also assessed. Since the Research Seminar is part of the research culture at the Institute of Economics, it is recommended that students continue to participate regularly in the Research Seminar even after completing the seminars, without official registration.

3. Presentation of manuscripts at international conferences:

This presentation is recommended and - as well as funding applications - supported by the Doctoral School of Economics.

4. Supervision meetings:

Doctoral students are expected to take advantage of regular supervision meetings. A supervision meeting (supervisor-PhD student) must be formally held and documented at least once per semester. This is based on texts that are submitted in writing by the student to the supervisor at least two working days in advance. The content and outcome of the interview must be documented in an implementation protocol.

5. Other formats such as workshops or Summer Schools:

Depending on the offer and interest, small workshop events, discussion rounds or Summer Schools are also available.
